Lighting?

[lochi]

I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to get for lights for the new tank. I getting a 75. I've been looking around and I'm a little suprised at what lighting costs. I was thinking about a DIY set up consisting of 2 X175w MH and and 2 X 55w PC 50/50's OR a 4X65w PC setup. $ is a factor in my decision. I am not sure I'll be trying to keep any but the easiest stonies.I am guessing I'll be keeping mostly softies. Thanks for any help

I'd really suggest going with the mh and pc atinic/ 50/50 combo. With as deep as most 75g tanks are, I'd question whether pc could penetrate that deeply for even stonies.
